    Can you pls confirm, do you've Windows 11 Home atm and you want it to upgrade to Pro edition?

    If yes, you can easily purchase the upgrade from Microsoft Store.

    Hi Tejas,

    If you have a Windows Home licence and the Pro version is currently installed on your laptop, then the only working method to go back to the Home version is to backup your files, and create a bootable Windows 11 USB on an empty 8GB USB flash drive, then boot your laptop form the USB you have created and use that to clean install Windows 11, the Home version should then activate automatically.

    Click this link:  https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

    to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 8GB) using that tool.

    Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created to begin installing Windows 11. 

    During the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 11 on this PC'.

    Install Windows 11 Home with a clean installation, because a Windows 11 Home key or digital license cannot activate the currently installed Windows 11 Pro edition.^1^

    1. Back up the laptop

    A clean installation removes installed applications, settings, and potentially all personal files on the Windows drive.

    Copy important files to external storage or cloud storage. Also record any application licenses and ensure you know the password for the Microsoft account associated with the Windows 11 Home digital license.

    2. Create Windows 11 installation media

    You need:

    • A blank USB flash drive.
    • Another working Windows PC, or the HP Victus if it remains usable.
    • An internet connection.

    Open Microsoft’s Windows 11 media creation tool, download the tool, and use it to create a bootable Windows 11 USB drive.

    3. Clean-install Windows 11 Home

    1. Leave the USB drive connected and restart the HP Victus.
    2. Open the HP boot menu during startup and select the USB drive.
    3. Start Windows Setup.
    4. If asked for a product key:
      • Enter your genuine Windows 11 Home key; or
      • Select I don’t have a product key if this laptop already has a Windows 11 Home digital license.
    5. Select Windows 11 Home when an edition list appears.
    6. Choose the custom installation option.
    7. Select the existing Windows system partition and continue with installation.

    Deleting or formatting partitions permanently erases their contents; do not modify recovery or data partitions unless they have been backed up and you intentionally want to remove them.

    Microsoft’s activation guidance specifically directs users who have a Windows 11 Home digital license but Windows 11 Pro installed to create installation media and perform a clean installation of Home. Setup can skip the key, and Windows should activate automatically after installation when the matching digital license is detected.^2^

    4. Activate Windows 11 Home

    After installation, connect to the internet and open:

    Start → Settings → System → Activation

    Then use the applicable method:

    • Digital license: Sign in with the Microsoft account linked to the Windows 11 Home license. Activation should occur automatically.
    • Home product key: Select Change product key, enter the 25-character Windows 11 Home key, and complete activation.^1^

    The expected result is:

    • Edition: Windows 11 Home
    • Activation status: Windows is activated, ideally with a digital license linked to your Microsoft account.

    If Home still does not activate

    Open Settings → System → Activation → Troubleshoot while signed in as an administrator. If the troubleshooter recognizes the Home digital license, select Activate Windows, followed by Activate.^2^

    If activation still fails, record the exact activation error code. Confirm that the installed edition says Windows 11 Home—Home and Pro licenses are edition-specific and only activate the matching edition.^1^
